    Shopping on iPad

    Order from your couch, safely.

    1. Trusted apps only

    Amazon, Walmart, Target, Costco. Stick to names you know. Avoid bargain copycat sites.

    2. Use Apple Pay

    Skips typing card numbers. Each purchase uses a one-time code. Safer than typing a card.

    3. Read reviews

    Look for products with hundreds of reviews. Skip products with only 5-star ratings and no detail.

    4. Check the seller

    On Amazon, scroll to seller name. Prefer Sold by Amazon over unfamiliar third parties.

    5. Track packages

    The app shows where your order is. Get notified when it arrives at your door.

    6. Save the receipt

    Take a screenshot of the order summary. Helpful if you need to return something.

    Use a credit card instead of a debit card online — credit cards have stronger fraud protection.
